Organic Farmer / Garden Assistant

Organic Farmer / Gardener

Come Get Your Hands Dirty at Sorrel

Sorrel River Ranch is a Four-Diamond luxury guest ranch tucked along the Colorado River, surrounded by towering red-rock cliffs, wide-open skies, and 240 acres of incredible Southern Utah landscape.

And yes—we have a garden. A big one.

Our organic farm and garden help supply fresh, seasonal produce to the restaurant and mercantile while giving our guests a chance to experience a little hands-on ranch life. We believe good food starts with healthy soil, happy plants, and people who genuinely care about what they’re growing.

If you’d rather spend your day outside than behind a desk, enjoy getting your hands dirty, and want to learn more about organic farming and permaculture, we’d love to have you join the team.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Planting, watering, weeding, harvesting, and caring for our crops.
• Helping care for our orchard, greenhouse, and growing spaces.
• Installing, maintaining, and troubleshooting irrigation.
• Building compost and helping improve soil health.
• Learning and practicing permaculture and organic growing techniques.
• Keeping our garden productive, healthy, and beautiful.
• Helping create fun farm and garden experiences for our guests.
• Pitching in with the team when something needs to get done.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Curious and eager to learn.
• Hardworking and not afraid to get a little dirty.
• Passionate about plants, food, farming, or the environment.
• Positive, dependable, and good at solving problems.
• Comfortable working independently and as part of a team.
• Friendly and comfortable interacting with guests.
• Able to lift and carry up to 50 lbs.
• Ready to work outdoors and enjoy the Moab sunshine, seasons, and everything that comes with them.

Organic farming or gardening experience is a plus. A Bachelor’s degree is preferred, but we care just as much about your attitude, work ethic, and willingness to learn.

Why Sorrel?

Because your office might be a field.

Your lunch might come from something you just harvested.

Your coworkers might be chefs, guides, ranchers, gardeners, and adventurers.

And when you need a break, there’s a river and some pretty spectacular red rocks waiting for you.
